Th Brickton Weekly, November 27, 2013

Salvation Army Food Drive
Brickton Montessori is once again participating in the Salvation Army Holiday Food Drive.  Boxes for food donations will be placed in the school lobby when we return from the Thanksgiving holiday.  A list of suggested non-perishable holiday food items will be posted outside each classroom and on the donation box.
Quaker Dance
A longstanding Thanksgiving tradition here at Brickton - the Quaker Dance - is a time for our students to come together and celebrate being a community.  Enjoy the video!

Friendship Soup
Each year at this time, the Children’s House students come together to make Friendship Soup.  Each child’s family donates an ingredient and the students help in the preparation.  It is a wonderful activity that teaches the students the value of cooperation and community.  

Human Body Museum
The Upper Elementary students have been studying body systems.  In culmination, each student created working exhibits to show how different senses and parts of the body work.  The Children’s House and Lower Elementary students visited the Upper Elementary classroom to experience these amazing exhibits.

Lost and Found Table
We have arranged the lost and found items on a table right next to the front door.  Please take a moment to see if your child might have something they lost and we found!
